A crow swooped across the majestically displayed rainbow Milky Way. It let out an ear splitting caw before flying a full circle around the outline of the gleaming moon. It swung around and flew straight into the old rickety castle. It turned left, then right, then left again before coming to a stop in a run down hallway and landing on a cloaked figure's arm, my arm.
I lift my arm and pat Arnold on the head. “Good boy!” I tell him. He has just delivered me news that is too important to miss. I checked the pocket watch in my hand and let out a small gasp, so much time has gone,our time was running out! We only had a matter of minutes left! I walked into an old bedroom and peered out the window and just as I had suspected it was about to start. At least I still had the pocket watch to keep me safe! I leant further out the window and the watch slipped from my hand and landed on the grass far, far below.
Arnold, I instructed as I handed him a small golden key, “Open the watch, find the miniature moon and bring it back”. Arnold cawed in reply and I lowered him out the window. I watched as Arnold swooped down around the watch. He lowered the key into the hole and broke it open. He lifted up the miniature moon inside. I had been chasing it all day. Now, Arnold had it. He flew back up to me and dropped the moon in my hand. I studied it. It was so perfect, so smooth and so bright and it seemed to attract dust into it’s sparkly aroma. When I told Arnold to get the moon out I thought it would be too much. I mean how did he open it? Even I couldn’t! I sat down on the bed and tucked the moon into my bag. Arnold flies over and I give him some treats. He lies down on my lap and I examine him, but there's nothing different about him to any other crow I’ve seen except for the fact I can understand him but I can’t understand any other birds. I set him down in his nest next to the bed. I shut the window and flop on my bed. I tried to save everyone but they didn’t listen and wouldn't believe me so all I had to do was wait till it was all over.
I wake up with a jolt, like an earthquake but stronger and fiercer I scramble off the bed and grab the moon out of my bag. As soon as my skin touches it it’s easier to stand I snatch up a terrified Arnold and hug him and he moon to my chest. I lie back down on my bed and hope that the moon will be enough to save not only me but Arnold as well.
When the shaking and violent gurgling noises had died down I hopped off the bed and Arnold flew onto my arm, I pulled my pitch black cloak over me and walked slowly down the stairs. As I was walking I carefully tucked the moon back into my satchel, It was no longer glowing as all its power had been used up saving us. The moment I broke out into the cold night air I gasped, all the houses, cars, buildings and people had been sucked into the earth. I had predicted this would happen but It just looked so terrible, so lonely! It was devastating but I had warned them, told them that they would be safe if they followed my instructions but no one listened. I looked back at my Castle, the only building still standing. “Arnold” I said “Fly” I raised my hands above my head and let his claws sink into my skin. Soon we were flying over treetops, well more like what used to be treetops and was now bare planes. We landed on a beach and I embarked on a journey across the ocean, as Arnold was too tired to fly with me anymore I simply made a raft out of my cloak keeping it wrapping around me but sitting on it as well. As we passed what used to be towns and cities, even some countries were gone, being too tiny to stay afloat, no one had listened, I was so so sad, all these innocent people, if they had just listened to me they would still be alive today.
That is my Session 1 writing here is my Session 2 writing:
Sophia stood under an impossibly beautiful umbrella surrounded by a thick Navy sky. She reached her hand up into the umbrella, her hand plunged through the intricate cloud design. When it came out it was holding a fluffy white cloud, she let go of it and it started to rain, just inside the umbrella. It was a raining umbrella! Sophia waved her hand over her daydream blue dress and golden hair, the water seemed to avoid hitting her, her blue glasses sparkled as she continued to walk. Soon water began to puddle at her feet. Sophia flung the umbrella away and it was whisked up by the wind. The Navy blue sky faded into a dull gray, white light crept in illuminating trees, old fallen down branches and a old rickety castle.
Sophia nimbley ran through the dead forest. She came to a stop outside the castle, the roof had caved in and most windows were shattered. One of the wide french doors was hanging off its hinges and the other had a wide gash in it. Sophia pushed the broken door and it clattered to the floor, she cringed and scurried back behind the other door. She peered through the wide gash but all she could see was an old smashed trophy case, a broken clock and a beat out run down rug, Sophia was about to step out when she heard it… Whispers behind the door! Sophia gripped her hands together and snuck into the castle, she walked with an air of confidence in where she was going. She turned left then right then right again till she came to a blood red door. Sophia slowly pushed it open and stepped in. Inside was a boy with long raven black hair pushed back out of his eyes, emerald green eyes that sparkled with intelligence, he was sporting a light green t-shirt and yellow pants, he had a silver wrist watch which he checked. “Hello Sophia! You're late.” Sophia laughed “By one second James!” “What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, being perfectly on time is definitely on my agenda!” “I know I know! Now why did you call me here? What's the problem?” James gestured to the screen in the middle of the room and Sophia walked over to a bean bag in the corner, once comfortably nestled inside of it James flicked the on screen.
A city filled to the top with water flickered onto the screen, “You did that.” James said matter of factly. “Yeah but the portal is pretty hard to ace and this is what the city’s for, even you do that.” She motioned to the screen “No matter how many times we fill that city up it will just drain out again, I mean they're used to it. It’s how the world works, other people use this city too.” “I know I just wanted to show you how high it is this time! The water is rising. Soon, everything will be underwater.” Sophia reached out her hand and waved to a turtle that was on the screen. “I know that's fine, at least Alex is happy, normally waters are so low there….” “Yeah Alex loves it there, I think she had babies!” “Cool but what's the real problem?” James sighed, “This.” He changed the picture on the screen to one of a man and a child frozen “Oh… did Max try to bring his kid with him again?” “Yeah.” “Well first of all he should know that unorarised people can’t use umbrella transport and you can’t have two people on the same umbrella!” James shook his head, “He just can’t get his head around it, can you help…. Again?” Sophia laughed, she stood up from the bean bag and ran her hands along the peeling yellow paint on the wall, “Yes, but his daughter will need medacin, being stuck like that twice and so young isn’t good for her.” James smiled and clapped his hands “Great! Water medicine or…?” “Water, now where are they?”
James clicked a button and the screen separated revealing a room, in the back of the room was what looked like a block of ice with two people trapped inside, one looked no younger than 8. Sophia and James walked up to them, James cracked knuckles against the ice and a loud tapping side echoed around the room “Hard as rock impossible to break!” Sophia smiled and slid her hand through the ice, it rippled like water, her gentle fingers gripped the girl's arm and pulled her out. James dragged a bed into the room and laid the girl on it. Sophia slid her hand back into the ice and hauled the 45 year man out. After they’d laid the man down Sophia reached into a tank and scooped some water up into her hand, she sprinkled it on the girl's face. Suddenly the girl's eyes shot open, “Hello Emma” Sophia said calmingly, “Your dad shouldn’t have done that.” Emma’s dad opened his eyes “I really want her registered, Sophia!”
